Martin did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks, which factored into fellow reserve Naji Marshall logging 34 minutes. Martin hasn’t done enough to be rostered in fantasy leagues, but he may siphon a few minutes away from the more impactful Marshall.

Flagg is good to go after missing Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. His return means Klay Thompson will head back to the bench after hitting three three-pointers and scoring 13 points. Thompson is rostered in only 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and for good reason, as he has struggled thus far.

Unfortunately, it seems that the 30-year-old will have to undergo a follow-up surgery on the same knee. It’s been a difficult career for Exum after being taken fifth overall in the 2014 NBA Draft. He appeared in 82 games in his rookie season, but then missed the following year with an injury and only appeared in more than 42 games once over the remaining five years before leaving the NBA to continue playing overseas. He came back to the league with the Mavericks last season and averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game.

While Brandon Williams (9/2/4/1 with one three-pointer) continues to serve as the Mavericks’ starting point guard, there have been nights when Russell has been more useful to fantasy managers. Wednesday was one of those occasions, as the veteran guard was efficient as a scorer and distributor in the two-point defeat. Williams has been more valuable by a significant distance on the season as a whole, ranking five rounds higher than Russell, so Wednesday’s performance may not change too many minds in fantasy circles.

For the first time this season, the Mavericks were without Cooper Flagg (illness). While Klay Thompson (13/2/2 with three three-pointers) was the choice to move into the starting lineup, it was Marshall who proved more valuable to fantasy managers. And that development was unsurprising to fantasy managers, as Naji has been far more useful than Thompson in category leagues. Rostered in 17 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Marshall has been a 10th-round player in nine-cat formats. He’ll be worth streaming if Flagg remains out for Friday’s game against the Pelicans.

Due to injuries, the Mavericks have made two changes to their starting lineup. Cooper Flagg (illness) will miss a game for the first time, with Thompson returning to the starting five. The other change is Lively, who is back after missing Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves. His return means Moussa Cisse will head to the bench, but he isn’t guaranteed rotation minutes since Daniel Gafford is also available.

Martin was a late addition to the injury report and was ultimately ruled out with an illness against the Knicks on Wednesday. The 30-year-old small forward has averaged just 10 minutes per game this year so PJ Washington and Naji Marshall could see a slight bump in minutes.

Lively came back from a nine-game absence due to a knee injury last Friday against the Clippers. The 21-year-old center sat out Monday’s game against the Timberwolves, but is back for the matchup with the Knicks on Wednesday.

Gillespie has been one of the Suns’ unsung heroes thus far, providing solid production off the bench. Tuesday’s performance was his best, with the third-year guard notching a season-high point total. With Jalen Green and Grayson Allen out due to injury, Gillespie is in a place where he can provide deep-league value. He’s been a 10th-round player in nine-cat formats this season and is now rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Given his injury history and the Suns’ measured approach in incorporating him into the lineup to begin the season, Williams’ only playing 21 minutes on Tuesday was a positive. He was productive on the floor, finishing with a stat line that lacked only a three-pointer, and the 7-footer has never been a perimeter shooter. Williams is ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 83. He should play more when the Suns face the Timberwolves on Friday.

While fantasy managers may have wanted to see more from Booker, Tuesday night went well for him and the Suns. The star guard watched most of the fourth quarter from the bench as his teammates closed out a comfortable victory. Due primarily to turnovers, Booker is ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats. However, he only committed one on Tuesday, the third time he’s had that few in a game this season. Booker and the Suns play two more games this week, starting with the Timberwolves on Friday.

Gafford sat out the second leg of the Mavericks’ back-to-back on Monday, but he’ll be back and likely return to the starting lineup. Gafford’s return will push Moussa Cisse to the bench, and with Dereck Lively II (knee) also back, Cisse’s role will likely be minimal, if he sees the floor at all.

This one got out of hand quickly as Minnesota built a 32-point lead by the end of the third quarter. Flagg was one of the few bright spots for the injury-depleted Mavericks as he shot 60 percent from the floor and hit two of three from beyond the arc. It’s been an up-and-down rookie campaign so far, which isn’t unexpected as he acclimates to everyday life at the highest level on a Dallas squad that appears headed towards a potential full-scale teardown. Dallas will attempt to turn things around when they host the Knicks on Wednesday evening.

Both of Dallas’ centers will get the night off as Dallas plays the second leg of a back-to-back set, and both should be back in action for Wednesday’s matchup with New York.

Gillespie wasn’t the replacement in the starting lineup for the injured Grayson Allen, but he continues to benefit from the absences of key guards. Gillespie finished Sunday’s defeat a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line, and he’s providing 10th-round value in nine-cat formats this season. Ryan Dunn, who started for Allen, finished with 12 points, four rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers. While he can be of use in deeper leagues, Gillespie is the player fantasy managers should seek first if Allen remains out.

Booker shot the ball well overall, but he missed all six of his three-point attempts. And he’s in the midst of a serious funk, having shot 3-of-24 from beyond the arc over his last five games. The good news for fantasy managers is that Booker has still been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats during this run of poor perimeter shooting. He’ll look to get back on track Tuesday night in Portland.

Brooks put on an offensive clinic during the first three quarters of Sunday’s game, going off for 30 points. While his shot selection can occasionally go off the rails, that was not the case against the Hawks. And with Jalen Green (hamstring) once again out for an extended period, Brooks will have more leeway within the offense to get his shots. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s been a fourth-round player thus far. Phoenix plays three games during Week 5, starting with Portland on Tuesday.

Despite playing on an ankle that still doesn’t appear to be fully healthy, Gafford was excellent in his 31 minutes on the court Sunday night. A double-digit scorer in three straight appearances, the Mavericks center notched his first 20-point game of the season. Add in the blocked shots, and Sunday was a good night to have Gafford rostered. He has already played both games of a back-to-back this season, which may bode well for Gafford’s availability for Monday’s game against the Timberwolves. However, he did admit after the game that he aggravated the ankle injury during overtime. Gafford, who said the plan was to travel to Minnesota for Monday’s game, should be considered questionable after logging a season-high 31 minutes.

After shooting 1-of-3 from the field in the first half, Flagg was far more assertive. He shot 4-of-5 from the field in the third quarter, and the rookie forward hit two key shots in the extra period to help Dallas pull away. Flagg is going to have his growing pains, as most rookies do, but he’s provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past week, according to Basketball Monster. Things appear to be looking up for Flagg.

Washington was one of three Mavericks starters to score at least 20 points in Sunday’s overtime victory, a step in the right direction for the forward. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, P.J. hasn’t benefited from the injuries to other Mavericks frontcourt players in terms of value. Rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Washington is ranked well outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. However, Dallas’ four-game Week 5 makes him worth holding onto in deep leagues, especially with Anthony Davis still out.

After struggling mightily to begin the season, Thompson may be getting back on track. He’s reached double figures in three straight games, making at least four three-pointers in each. At this stage of his career, Thompson is more of a specialist than a player who can provide solid fantasy value across multiple categories. And that’s unlikely to change anytime soon, especially with Max Christie (14/4/4/1 with three three-pointers) taking Klay’s place in the starting lineup. Dallas plays four games during Week 5, starting with Minnesota on Monday.

Having missed the Mavericks’ last eight games with a strained left calf, Davis was evaluated over the weekend. While progress is being made, he’ll be out for at least another 7-10 days.

Russell played 39 minutes, which is the most he’s played in a game this year, in the Mavericks’ double overtime loss to the Clippers on Friday.

Russell hadn’t scored more than 10 points in his last six games and his three-point shooting has been terrible recently.
